STS 2.3.1 - Pointcut malformed

[eggsy84]

Hi all,

Has anyone noticed the following compile error when using Spring STS 2.3.1:

Pointcut is malformed: error Type referred to is not an annotation type: myAnnotation

In my app-config file I get the above error although the error wasn't occuring before upgrading to STS 2.3.1

In terms of my app-config I simply have the following:

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>
<bean id="myAspect" class="mypackage.MyAspect" />

Then I have the following Aspect class

@Aspect
public class MyAspect{
	
        @Pointcut(value="execution(public * *(..))")
	public void anyPublicMethod() {
	}
	
	@Around("anyPublicMethod() && @annotation(myAnnotation)")
	public Object doSomething(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp, MyAnnotation myAnnotation) throws Throwable {
		// do stuff....
		
		return pjp.proceed();
	}
}

Then my annotation is as follows:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface MyAnnotation {
	String actionPerformed();
}

After looking through various docs it seems to me that the Pointcut isn't malformed and I am using an annotation.

Does anyone know if this is a specific STS 2.3.1 error or is my code actually incorrect?

Hi,

this issue has been addressed by the recently released STS 2.3.2. Please update by downloading a new version of STS or by updating from the configured update site.
